Bottom line
One of the cheapest AI screening ATSs going: $10/mo if you bring your own AI key, or $50/mo flat with the AI and unlimited teammates included. Good for small teams drowning in CVs; lighter on integrations and track record than established ATSs.
Stands out for: Bring your own AI: on Starter you plug in an OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter key and pay the model provider directly, so unlimited CV screening costs $10/mo plus pennies per CV. Pro's flat $50/mo covers every user on your domain rather than charging per seat.
Watch out for: Starter needs someone comfortable setting up and paying for an AI provider account. The vendor names no ATS or HRIS integrations on its site, so check it fits your stack, and Pro's AI screening is capped at 10,000 CVs a month unless you add your own key.
Overview
Klearskill is an AI-native hiring platform and ATS built around CV screening. Every applicant is scored against the role, with the reasoning and evidence pulled from the CV.
Recruiters can fine tune the AI with their own preferences and add insight templates, such as skills found, red flags or a specific qualification, to compare candidates side by side.
The ATS side covers job creation with an application link, posting to job boards and social networks, a drag and drop kanban pipeline, email automation, analytics, a branded careers page and talent rediscovery.
Pricing has two unlimited plans. Starter is $10/mo and uses your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter key; Pro is $50/mo with the AI included, up to 10,000 CVs screened a month and unlimited users on your company domain.
A free trial covers one job and 25 CV screens without a card.

Starter is $10/mo for one user seat and covers hosting and storage; AI screening runs on your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter key, so the model cost is billed by that provider. Pro is $50/mo flat with the AI included, up to 10,000 CVs screened a month, unlimited users on your company domain, admin roles, advanced analytics and priority support. Both plans include unlimited jobs, candidates and CVs. The free trial covers one job and 25 CVs, no card needed. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
